Reflections on CES 2025 2

Tony Bozzini — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 11:21:13 GMT

CES 2025 wasn’t just another trade show—it was a moment.

For Established.inc, it marked the largest booth in our history: a 5000 sqft stage showcasing RCA, Thomson, Blaupunkt, and Schneider under one roof.

This wasn’t simply about the scale of the booth or the number of visitors. It was about what that space represented:

collaboration
opportunity
and the power of trusted brands in action

Twenty of our licensees joined us at CES, filling the booth with energy and innovation.
They weren’t just showing products—they were building bridges, opening doors, and securing their futures.

Over 15 major retailers from across the Americas came to our booth to meet with our licensees, exploring transformative opportunities.

One of our partners had a pivotal meeting with a major home improvement retailer, a first that could reshape their business in Mexico.

Another secured meetings with BJ’s and Sam’s Club, setting the stage for expansion in key U.S. markets. These are real, tangible outcomes that start at a trade show but reverberate far beyond the show floor.

Trade shows are more than just showcases for products—they are platforms for trust.

That’s why, for over 12 years, we’ve maintained the same location at CES.

Retailers and partners know where to find us. They know we’ll be there, year after year. And in this industry, consistency speaks volumes.

Ayonz seized the opportunity to apply for the BLAUPUNKT brand once the former licensee abandoned their Australian business.

Now, it was up to AYONZ to continue developing the German BLAUPUNKT brand story in Australia. They did exceptionally well, by bringing new ideas and a strategic roadmap that secured strong bonds with their channel partners.

The credibility of the brand allowed them to partner with content providers like Netflix, Spotify, Google and many more.

Australia is a very demanding market and the ability to partner with such big-name providers is extremely profitable and highly valued in the region.

Located on the RCA / Established.inc booth (#16224) in Central Hall, Schneider offers a rare licensing opportunity—one that positions you as a pioneer in redefining the home electronics and appliances market.

But Schneider’s story doesn’t end there. The brand is also open to pioneering new categories, offering manufacturers the opportunity to expand Schneider’s presence into markets beyond its traditional focus.

Schneider is not just another brand to license—it’s a chance to own a first-mover advantage in a market ripe for differentiation.

While Schneider’s name may be unfamiliar in North America today, its track record in Europe speaks volumes. With over €200 million in sales achieved in France in a short time, Schneider combines refined French craftsmanship with forward-thinking innovation.

Now, the question is: will you be the one to introduce Schneider’s unique appeal to North America — and watch it pay off fast?

The Car Audio Aftermarket: A Dying Industry That Refuses to Die

norman@established.inc (Norman Pralow) — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 11:09:56 GMT

North America dominates the $9.68B car audio aftermarket – and premium brands drive the highest margins.

The car audio aftermarket was supposed to decline, but it’s doing the opposite. For years, analysts predicted its downfall. Yet, the market is expanding. Manufacturers and those importing their own product lines are now securing long-term, high-margin growth. With North America driving 40% of global revenue of this $9.68B market and branded products outperforming unbranded alternatives, the question isn’t if this market is viable—it’s who will capitalize on it first.

For years, the car audio aftermarket has been written off as a sunset industry. Factory-installed systems, shifting consumer habits, and the rise of streaming services were expected to render it obsolete. The assumption was clear: aftermarket audio would slowly fade away.

Yet, reality tells a different story.

The demand for car audio isn’t just surviving—it’s evolving. While traditional head units are losing relevance, speakers, subwoofers, and amplifiers are booming. The market is not only alive but positioned for growth. Those who recognize these shifts and act accordingly are already seeing the rewards.
